Did God *really* say He’d use all things for His glory + your good? Doesn’t look that good to me... Did He *really* say peace is possible? I wouldn’t hold your breath... Did God *really* say He’d never leave you? Well then... where is He? And did God *really* say He’d give you rest? Because (no offense) you look pretty tired + defeated to me... Bottom line: Our enemy is out to kill our peace, destroy our faith, and steal our hope. How? By planting lies in our minds in hopes we take the bait. Good news for us though: Jesus came to set us free, and ”if we abide in His Word, we’ll know the truth + the truth will set us free” (John 8:32).This is the show for you if you’re ready to pick up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and stand firm in the truth, defusing every fiery dart and seizing that abundant life Jesus always gives. Join host Heidi Lee Anderson, popular social media creator and author of P.S. It’s Gonna Be Good, episode by episode as we Trade a Lie for a Truth.

    The Lie That Faith Gets Easier (and Mature Christians Don’t Struggle) | with Kristen LaValley

    Ever found yourself thinking, ‘I’ve followed Jesus for years—why does this still feel hard?’ If that question has crossed your mind, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristen LaValley, author of Growing Up Saved, who shares how saying the sinner’s prayer at a young age eventually led to deeper questions, seasons where faith felt heavy, and the guilt grew stronger. Yet Kristen gently reminds us we can bring our real questions to a God who isn’t intimidated by them, but holds all the answers. As we do, we'll find how He uses it to deepen our roots in Him even further. Together, let's learn how to shift from something to prove to something simply received, how to sit with questions without fearing them, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when you don’t have all the answers. God isn’t asking you to have it all figured out—just to keep walking with Him, one honest, faithful step at a time.   Connect with Kristen LaValley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristen.lavalley Website: https://www.kristenlavalley.com/ Book, Growing Up Saved: https://rstyle.me/+bowETlUF86x1H4hjQvCeYw   Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travelpassionweek

    The Lie: Peace Comes When Life Finally Calms Down | with Tara Dew

    What if the reason you haven’t found peace yet isn’t because your life is too loud… but because you’ve been waiting for it to finally quiet down? So many of us believe the subtle lie: Peace will come when this season settles. When the diagnosis clears. When the relationship stabilizes. When the calendar empties. When the anxiety makes sense. But Psalm 23 tells a very different story. In this powerful conversation, Bible teacher and author Tara Dew joins us to unpack the truth that peace isn’t the reward at the end of a calmer life — it’s the gift found in close proximity to the Shepherd. Her new book, Overflowing Peace, walks verse-by-verse through Psalm 23, inviting us to slow down and rediscover a familiar passage with fresh eyes. Together, let's hear how biblical peace exists: In valleys In the presence of enemies In the middle of unresolved chaos   Connect with Tara Dew: Her newest release, Overflowing Peace: https://rstyle.me/+R_L4SZUZ7SedEPN-NRrkDQ Her ministry, Prepare Her: www.prepareher.com Connect with Heidi: FollowTrade a Lie for a Truth on instagram.com/tradealieforatruth Grab Heidi’s 100-day devotional through Joshua: All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travelpassionweek Follow Heidi on Instagram: instagram.com/heidileeanderson

    The Lie Our Kids Feel About Fear (and How Parents Can Tell a Better Story) with Courtney Reissig

    Ever wondered how to talk to kids about scary things—storms, sickness, or other frightening moments—and they wonder if God is mad at them? Or maybe you’ve struggled with that yourself as an adult. It’s easy to carry this lie that when bad things happen, God must be angry, punishing, or absent. But the truth of the matter is God is present in the storms, big or small. He never stops loving His children, even when life feels out of control, and He works through hard moments to show His promises and hope. Join me as I break this down with Courtney Reissig, a Bible teacher, author, and mom of four, who opens up about the storm that scared her kids, and together, let's learn how we as families can talk about fear, trust, and God’s love in a way that’s relatable, practical, and full of hope.   Connect more with Courtney: https://courtneyreissig.com https://www.instagram.com/courtneyreissig Check out her children's book, Seth and the Very Scary Storm: https://rstyle.me/+RzJlnyLAnFnfp2kYLfyTUw   Connect more with Heidi: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ https://heidileeandersonministries.com Grab her new 100-day devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

    How to Unlock God’s Promises? Not Your Effort with Jen Wilkin

    Ever wonder if God’s promises rise and fall with how well you perform? If God’s favor must be maintained—or if His faithfulness might waver when you fall short? When that assumption creeps in, the book of Joshua confronts it head-on. In this conversation with Jen Wilkin—Bible teacher, best-selling author, and a trusted guide helping believers grow in biblical literacy—we open Scripture together to see how God ensures the fulfillment of every promise He makes. Not because of our consistency, effort, or worthiness, but because of His unwavering faithfulness.   What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • The lie that God’s promises depend on your performance—and the truth that sets you free • Lessons on inheritance, family, and blessing in God’s timing • Fun rapid-fire questions at the end so you can get to know Jen personally   Key Takeaway: God’s promises don’t rest on your effort—they rest on His faithfulness. Joshua reminds us that God goes before His people, stays with us in the unknown, and finishes what He starts. Obedience isn’t how we earn God’s presence—it’s how we respond to it faithfully.

    "Life Will Never Be Good Again..." or God's Not Finished with Brittany Price Brooker

    Have you ever wondered… what if my best days are already behind me? After loss, sickness, or life just takes a turn you never would have chosen. This lie shows up when prayers feel unanswered, when grief lingers longer than expected, and when the future looks nothing like the one you dreamed of. But it's time to confront the lie, “life will never be good again," and trade it for the truth that His goodness is still following you.   Join me as I sit down with the girl who has been there, Brittany Price Brooker, yet her story is a living testimony that God’s goodness is not cancelled by tragedy — and that redemption can grow in places we thought were only ashes. You'll walk away knowing He is still writing your story. And He is not finished yet. _________________________________________________________ Connect with Brittany Price Brooker: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brittanypricebrooker/ Website - https://www.brittanypricebrooker.com/   Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ Website - www.heidileeandersonministries.com Her newest devotional, All In, All Yours - https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w

    If God Feels Silent... It's Care, Not Abandonment with Whitney Lowe

    Ever hit a point where you just… feel forgotten? You’re praying, doing all the “right” things, trying to keep your faith steady—but heaven’s quiet. Everyone else is getting their breakthrough, their answered prayer, their happy ending… and you’re over here wondering, “Did God skip over me?”   It's here where we can start believing the sneaky little lie: “God doesn’t care. He’s given up on me.”   But what if we’re misinterpreting the situation? What if what we’re calling silence is preparation? What if God absolutely cares more than we could ever know and what if He cares about every detail of your life?   Join me as I interview Whitney Lowe, author of Called Back to Who You Are and Set Your Eyes Higher, to trade this lie and discover the freeing truth for yourself. __________________________________________________________________ Connect more with Whitney Lowe: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whitneypiersonlowe/ Newest release, Called Back to Who You Are - https://rstyle.me/+wD9RKiqfg6IOpuOnMERK_Q   Connect more with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram. - https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson Website - www.heidileeandersonministries.com Newest devotional, All In, All Yours - https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w
